Evidence from the paper
Based on the calculated E-V relation, isothermal bulk modulus K0 and its first derivative K0' can be fitted by the third- and fourth-order Birch equation of state ... Table 1: V0 = 162.253^a, K0 (GPa) = 264.0^a, K0' = 3.83^a; 'Both third-order (index as b) and fourth-order (indexed as a) fitting are conduced.'
Additional notes
note
Values at zero pressure and zero temperature from DFT-LDA E-V fit; Table 1 row for cell volume is mislabelled 'K0 (Å^3)' but caption defines V0 as the cell volume at zero-pressure ambient conditions.
